Science, As The Candle In The Dark, (I)

Thursday, May 25


//This series of articles will explore the morals of science and the needs for science in an age rapidly moving in a direction of uncertainty and revelation.

The basic tenets of modern civilization relies heavily on technological innovation that is preceded by science. Science remains as the sole basis for technology. A technologically dependent society, can't therefore push science and the needs of learning science into obscurity and at the same time demand quick solutions in any field and faculty. A relevant hypothesis that can be forwarded into this society is that the need of the people remains unmatched by the unraveling of new technology, hence new science because of a rapidly declining pace of discovery.

We live in an age where science does not play an inspirational role in our lives, rather continue to struggle with religious fundamentalism, shady politics and lackluster funding where the need to achieve a goal is overshadowed by the demand for commercialism. What the scientific fraternity experienced a few hundred years since Newton, where science and discovery seemed to free flow through the masses, where thousands of years ago science was a 'metaphysical' journey in the great dawn of civilization is today a race towards temporary success and media fuss. Media was late in the past century, science came first; but today media scoops science and leaves the 'end' of any research for the laymen to 'finish'.

The certainty of scientists such as Einstein and Feynman is that they are doing the unraveling before anything else. They had the upper hand in constructing patiently, precise quantitative and qualitative frameworks that would encompass fully the line of research so that when it does reach out, it will provide the solutions needed when it is needed most. The dawn of the computer age, supposedly the golden age for science is that more data could be processed to provide a wider framework, but hesitant is the science that a wider rage doesn't mean better solutions. What exactly happened is that we managed to successfully drown the world in redundant floods of data and subjects that doesn't cross boundaries to help anyone, but distance everyone from science itself.

The sole candle in the dark is not the guiding light that we hoped it would be. The giants in the likes of Feynman and Gell-Mann, managed to inspire a short generation the most, and then forgotten in the names of artificial Gods who holds the keys to doors locked for the true scientists. Why did we let such events to take place that would isolate humanity, and refract science to such a level that the struggle for money supersedes everything else. What is the exact mechanisms that turned science into a turbulent world where pseudoism and violent martyr grab the attention more that anyone else.

The fight for truth starts within the ones who wants to see a future of scientific glory. A future where everyone who wishes a world of peace and freedom crosses the political boundary to achieve something everyone could live in and live with.

The goals of the CosmicCode Institute and project is to highlight science, to give science it's deserved place in the world and to inspire a generation more to understand the needs for this revelation. The actions and the solutions that we provide will be charted in the invisible mirrors of the universe that in the future will reflect a direction that took us the right way, that is, a way to a scientific future.

Again you succeeded to profoundly deliver rather astutely what's needed to our approach of the bigger picture and of the promise that it will bring...
The importance of the role of Science, of our disturbing re-laxed and relapsed vision of science today, and importantly, our responsibility to be True to it.
You're right...there is no silver bullet, no...quick solutions, it's ridiculous to think so...Ours is a complex society amd what's sad is our inability to maintain the proper leadership who's needed wisdom, compassion and vision and courage... continues to wane against todays more corrupting and degrading world in which we all live in.
Thank you GP for rekindling the flame in the Candle (at least for me)
This world needs more people like you my friend.
Tho by no means am I a scientist or anything near one...
Your Comment
Not only is it inspiring...
It is also very much appreciated.

From what I can see, the problem is that religious fundamentalists either truly don't understand science as a method or deliberately mislead people about it.

Science doesn't hold to preconceived truths then slink around tendentiously gathering evidence to support its ideas while ignoring/trying to suppress whatever's inconvenient. But that's exactly how, for example, "creation science" works.

It's like we're traveling back to the Middle Ages...

ppl! go read COSMOS by Carl Sagan.

of course, i love to view everything with a bent of science... i loved this post!

What? Did the ghost particle vanish? Escaped into the dark matter of the blogosphere?
